POISONOUS PAPER.

The Danger of Using WALLPAPERS Cor.
tanning Large Quantities of Arsenic.
Within the past few months there has
been much stir over the question of
arsenic in wallpapers Prof. Lyon, of
Harvard University, started it, believ-
ing himself and family to have been
badly poisoned by it, and feeling UNI
der obligation to make his experience
available for the public good. The
other side has been presented by man.
ufacturers and dealers, and by the var
ious interests involved, Testimony
has been pited against testimony, and
expert against expert, until now the
public hardly knows what to believe.
Perhaps an opinion based upon an UNI
biassed sitting of evidence may be help
full.
/. We believe that arsenic is extern
sively used in the manufacture of wall
paper, but usually in such minute guam
titles that the use of the paper is not
dangerous The question is not whether
the chemist can detect any arsenic in
the paper tested by him or not, but if
he finds it there in dangerous guam
tity. Most poisons are safe within T.
tain limits. Our systems have a won
derful eliminating power. Many of tho
best medicines are virulent poisons---
nOtoniy arsenic itself, but preparations
of opium, corrosive sublimate, deadly
night shade, strychnine and other
drugs. CaIbonic acid gas. which is a
fatal poison in large quantities, is a
constituent part of the atmosphere.
We believe, then, that the arsenic in
all the paper of any ordinary dwelling
would not harm one if concentrated
into a single dose
2. But we equally believe that some
papers, particularly those with a rough
OF velvety surface, contain arsenic IL
quantities whichmake them dangerous
especially so when exposed to long con-
tinued damPness, We know of c
person who, while engaged in hanging
such paper, although he took every
precaution in the way of abundant ven,
tilation, was SO badly poisoned that he
was made ill, and was hardly able tC
reach home unassisted. The doctor a
once pronounced it a case of arsehica
poisoning. The occupants of such ;
house, if their constitutions are rather
tolerant of arsenic - there i!
mach difference in the sus
ceptibility to its influence = anC
if the house naturally and artificially
is a dry one, and is kept well ventil
ated, might escape h I'm. But w
should notlike to insure the concur
rence of these conditions.
Here ave would caution our weather.
readers to be doubly careful of thc
ventilation of their houses in protract
ed damp weather, and to make SURF
that every room is thoroughly ventil
ated on returning from their summer
vacation. But, above ALL make SUR
that the wallpaper does not contain
arsenic in dangerous quantity. If i
does, tear the paper down instantly

The COrnicai Mistake Made by Two Tract

was inside the ward at the time, was
coming toward the door. He stood
quietly on the inside among the pris-
Oners waiting until the ladies had fin

made a rather awkward mistake and

Nearly all the wood rats are remarka-
BILE for their curious nests, and for GER
tain actions, certainly the result of curl
osity. I have examined many nests in
the Sierra range, from the level of the
foot of the range to much higher alti-
tude. The majority were built of leaves
and twigs, interlaced so strongly that in
some instances it was almost impossible
to tear them apart. Often the shoots from
the base of a tree would be woven into the
nest or used as a centre pole. In the
construction of the nest it was evident
that while from the outside, and even
from superficial examination, it ap-
peared to be thrown together in care
less way, this was not always the case,
as in section of large nest there were
many evidences of design. In one nest
made up of perhaps five bushels of
leaves, twigs, moss, acorns, ETC., the Sec
ton presented about the appearance
shown in the accompanying figure. The
extreme upper portion of the nest seemed
to be given up as a storeroom, and was
filled with acorns of all kinds available,
corncobs, wheat and various objects,
many of which must have been brought
from a considerable distance.
Directly beneath this storeroom was
the nest proper, which consisted Of an
apartment about eighteen inches across
and six inches high, completely filled
with mass of vegetable fibre, as soft as
wool, and evidently intended as the nest
of the young rather than a living room
for the adults.
From this room number of tunnels
extended, leading upward, downward,
and out in various directions. In
fact, the matter of suitable retreat was
so carefully attended to that it was al
most impossible to catch an occupant in
the nest, though l used a good dog in
the effort. In one nest opened, sub
terranean passage led away, evidencing
an escape. There was no great SINH
larity in the construction of nests. In
some the plan was as Indicated; in
others the position of rooms would be
reversed, but in all the nest was ad-
mirably adapted to afford the greatest
protection from rain and possible enc
mics, though its very compactness
often invites the presence of an enemy
to be dreaded. This is the rattlesnake,
which often crawls into the shelter,
and several have been found snuglv
ensconced in the warm nest during the
winter, sleeping away the supposed cold
months.

them; and in fields where there are
fine live oak trees hundreds may be
seen running about or sitting on their
mounds, the result of the excavations,
and unless the observer was looking
for them, and had previously OBJ
served them, they would readily be
passed by, so remarkable is their MINI
icry, or rather resemblance to the soil and
dried grass. I have often been deceived
by them, taking standing squirrel for a
mound of earth. While the settlement

where huge rock projected into the
stream, and directly opposite in large
live oak, from ten to twelve feet from the
ground, appeared an enormous nest, fully
three feet high and resembling huge
ball of leaves and twigs suspendedin the
tree. 1t was made, like the others, of
twigs and leaves, bound about an upright
limb and represented vast amount of
work, each leaf and twig having to be
carried up the almost perpendicular
trunk of the tree.

son, and to show its durability | fired
